Thanks to the readers of the MMD, Marv Polan and his wife Diane,
in particular.  Diane relayed to me that the MBS has arranged for 45
more rooms for Thursday-Saturday at their rate of $92, quite a savings
over what I had been charged, $149.  Both rates of course taxed 15%.

The hotel, I was told, is sold out Mon-Wed, but ask if you need those
days, the hotel registrar might accommodate you.  Diane also informed me
that Stephanie Ryder was trying to get even more rooms added to those.
My advice would be to get off-line now and register as soon as you see
this message; that is, if you want to stay at the Adams Mark hotel.

P.S. to Marty Roenigk: I understand that the Holiday Inns do allow
dogs.  Confirmation of same at the Adams Mark is but a phone call away.

See you all in Philadelphia
